The subsequent filming process went very smoothly.
By mid-April, all the drama scenes were filmed and Jiang Dao's shoulder injury was completely healed.
It happened to be Jiang Dao's birthday that day, so Chu Yinlong organized a dinner party for the entire crew. Everyone celebrated Jiang Dao's birthday together, and had a whole day off the next day.
"Since I met you, I've been on the set for two birthdays, and I haven't celebrated your birthday alone." Chu Yinlong still felt a little apologetic, "I won't arrange any schedule for April next year. On your birthday, I'll accompany you wherever you want to go and whatever you want to do."
Jiang Dao smiled and said, "It's pretty good to celebrate my birthday on the set. Look, some of them didn't prepare any gifts, but they secretly gave me red envelopes! Two hundred yuan each, I made a lot of money!"
Chu Yinlong couldn't help laughing and raised his hand to rub Jiang Dao's head.
…
Soon, April 29th.
The movie "Dawn City" directed by Mu Zhixing released the first set of promotional posters and makeup photos of several main characters.
On the poster, Chu Yinlong and Jiang Dao’s names are placed side by side, and they are both given the title of “leading actor”.
In one of the posters, the two people are standing back to back with grim expressions, holding weapons, and the light and shadow create a murderous atmosphere; while in another poster, the two people are hugging each other face to face, with their noses touching, and their eyes are full of affection. The dim light shines on their naked upper bodies, and hides the area below the waist in dark shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.
As soon as the two posters with completely different styles were released, fans were immediately excited.
"Ahhhhhhh!!! Is that what I thought!!! They are actually playing a couple!!! They are actually really playing a couple!!! Look at the scale of the poster!!! Kill me!!! [Picture][Picture]"
"Reply: I'm already dead! The official forced the fans to death!!! [Crying]"
“Reply: Judging from the atmosphere of the poster, they are probably in love and hate with each other! Wow, this setting really touches me! It’s going to be released in July, how am I going to get through these two months! [Crying]”
"Sisters! Just looking at the poster I have imagined a 300,000-word drama in my mind! Do you think there will be a real kissing scene in this movie Dragon Daddy Island? Ahhhh I am so looking forward to it! I want to travel to three months later!!!"
"Reply: If I only look at the poster, I suspect there will be not only a kissing scene, but also a boat scene [doge]"
"Reply: Sister, be bold, I'll give you a set of W and C dramas, with a bonus of falling in love on the set and making it a real marriage that will last a lifetime and bring you two babies in three years! [Spread flowers]"
"The lighting in the second picture is so stupid, please shine it a little lower!!! I want to see what's inside the shadow!!!"
"Reply: I want to watch it too!!!"
"Reply: Can I be lucky enough to ask a wife to do the painting? [tears]"
The fans’ carnival is not over yet. On April 30, Chu Yinlong and Jiang Dao posted on Weibo at the same time, releasing the promotional Vlogs they each recorded for "Dawn City", plus a short interview with three questions.
The three questions in the interview were, "What do you want to say to the director?", "What do you want to say to your partner?" and "What do you want to say to your fans?".
Of course, the copy written by the public relations department is carefully considered. It will not be too explicit, but it will deliberately leave room for people to associate ideas. Both of them expressed their gratitude to the director, and expressed their gratitude and anticipation for meeting the fans, but when it came to each other, in addition to gratitude, they also mentioned the word "lucky".
The fans were very perceptive and immediately grasped the word "lucky". They cited a lot of references, dug deep, and dug out all the videos and pictures of Chu Yinlong and Jiang Dao in the same frame, and all the Weibo posts they had ever posted together. They analyzed the situation with a rigorous attitude, almost like writing a paper, and came up with a rigorous logic -
% probability that they are really in a relationship, % probability that they are more than friends but less than lovers, % expresses respect for the God of Probability.
After reading this short essay, Jiang Dao laughed so hard that he handed his phone to Chu Yinlong to read.
Chu Yinlong said: "After so much analysis, the conclusion is still wrong."
Jiang Dao blinked his eyes: "What's wrong? Aren't we in a relationship?"
Chu Yinlong laughed: "We have been an old couple for a long time..."
Jiang Dao disagreed: "How can we say they are an old married couple? They haven't even got a marriage certificate, they are just dating!"
After a moment of silence, Chu Yinlong asked, "Do you want to get the certificate?"
Jiang Dao was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be disgusted: "Teacher Chu, no one proposes like you. Although I don't care about the sense of ceremony, you can't be too casual. Even if there is no engagement ring, there should be a big meal, right?"
Chu Yinlong looked at Jiang Dao for a long time, then answered seriously, "Okay."
Hearing his serious answer, Jiang Dao suddenly felt a little nervous.
After a moment's silence, he whispered, "Give me some more time, get married... I..."
Unable to continue, Jiang Dao pursed his lips and sighed: "...I'm sorry."
Chu Yinlong said: "It's okay, I understand."
After a pause, he added: "I can wait."
"Don't get me wrong." Jiang Dao stared into Chu Yinlong's eyes, "I just... you believe me, I don't... not love you."
"I know." Chu Yinlong laughed, "Of course I know you don't love me. You are still young, only twenty years old, and marriage is a bit scary for you. I have also been in my twenties, so I can understand your thoughts."
Jiang Dao's lips moved slightly, but he did not deny it in the end.
It wasn't because he was young that he didn't want to marry Chu Yinlong, nor was it because he loved freedom and didn't want to be bound. He was just a little worried about his own future - after all, he was not from this world.
Moreover, the plot in the original book is almost coming to an end.
When Tang Yao and Zhou Wei hold their grand wedding under the watchful eyes of the public, this book will come to an end with everyone's blessings to them.
Although Jiangdao can be sure that the world will not fall apart at the end of the story. But he still couldn't help but worry whether he would be excluded from this world the moment the story ended, or die quietly...
Of course, he would not be hypocritical and distance himself from Chu Yinlong just because of something that he speculated had not happened yet, but he also did not want to tie Chu Yinlong up with the shackles of marriage before the dust settled.
If the two had never been married, even if they had made their relationship public, if he disappeared in the future, it would just be another entertainment industry romance that ended in vain.
At least, Chu Yinlong was free from beginning to end.
Seeing that Jiang Dao’s face didn’t look good, Chu Yinlong reached out and held him in his arms.
"Don't think too much. I don't blame you." He smiled and sighed, "Remember, in love, we are equal. You are my lover, not my property. You have the right to put forward your ideas and requests, and you also have the right to reject my ideas and requests. You don't have to blame yourself for not meeting my expectations."
Jiang Dao looked at Chu Yinlong and suddenly smiled.
"Although I'm not ready to marry you, but..." He put his arms around Chu Yinlong's neck and gently bit the man's mouth, "...we can still have sex, and the more the better."
Jiang Dao understood that the reason why he was so obsessed with his close relationship with Chu Yinlong was probably because of his concerns about the future. Because he doesn't know where the future leads, he seizes every opportunity to enjoy himself. This apocalyptic style is very suitable for his current situation.
…
Throughout May, the filming of "The Ghost Face Bottle" progressed steadily.
Although the filming of fighting scenes and thrilling actions is very time-consuming, Chu Yinlong's team is very familiar with the process in this regard. In addition, Jiang Dao is obviously more adapted to the rhythm of fighting scenes, so the filming went more smoothly than the literary part.
In early June, the team came to the rented indoor ski resort and began shooting close-ups and closeups of the final action scene of the film.
The first few times were ordinary close-ups, with the two people walking down the intermediate slope, crossing the camera buried in the snow as required, or using the edges of the snowboard to kick up snow dust and rush towards the machine set up next to the snow trail.
Afterwards, the two stepped onto the rail and slid down in sync with the camera to shoot close-ups of their faces.
Finally, Chu Yinlong added a scene for Jiang Dao - when on the snowy mountain, Jiang Dao accidentally got stuck in the snow and fell and injured himself. After watching the footage, he decided not to cut it out, but to add a short clip where the character fell and was in a mess but still tried to maintain his elegance.
Of course, the reason for the wrestling also changed from Kaxue to enemy attacks, and only a few close-ups were needed.
The shots of wrestling and tumbling in the snow were of course filmed under strict protection, and the gentlest slope of the beginner ski slope was chosen. No starting speed was given, but the camera angle was used to give the audience a sense of danger from the steepness of the snow slope and the violent tumbling.
But even so, Chu Yinlong reminded him several times: "Be careful and turn slowly."
Jiang Dao smiled and gestured to him: "Don't worry."
When the snowboarding started, Jiang Dao's snowboard fell sideways and he suddenly plunged into the snow, rolling all the way down the snow slope. Finally, he managed to regain his balance by inertia and stood up again.
Then he raised his hand to wipe his face, pinched his tie button, habitually adjusted the collar of his suit, smoothed his clothes, raised his chin, and pretended nothing had happened.
This shot was edited into the film for only a few seconds.
But it is these few short seconds that make the character played by Jiang Dao more interesting. It seems that besides being a playboy in the upper class, he has something even more lovable.
…
On June 15, the filming of "The Ghost-Faced Bottle" was officially completed.
At the wrap party a week later, Jiang Dao stood beside Chu Yinlong in a suit with an elegant smile on his face. His temperament was able to perfectly blend into the atmosphere of the scene, and his every move no longer seemed out of place in this world of fame and fortune.
Chu Yinlong looked at Jiang Dao standing in the middle of the field and taking photos with the actress openly, and suddenly he felt like an old father who said, "My son has grown up." He was genuinely pleased for Jiang Dao's growth.
This young man, who wanted to quit the entertainment industry and live a free and easy life in the countryside two years ago, is now able to handle things here with ease and shines brightly.
